Effect of seeding during thermophilic composting of sewage sludge

K Nakasaki et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1985 Mar.

Abstract

The effect of seeding on the thermophilic composting of sewage sludge was examined by measuring the changes in CO2 evolution rates and microbial numbers. Although the succession of thermophilic bacteria and thermophilic actinomycetes clearly reflected the effect of seeding, no clear difference was observed in the overall rate of composting or quality of the composted product.
